Pump your Selfie Game with DIY Tassel Statement Earrings

From Zara to Oscar de la Renta to Chopard, brands are doubling down on statement earrings in exaggerated sizes and mismatched colours to tap a new generation of consumers.

Thank you for 80’s fashion pioneering the sense of loud ear accruements. Back then costume jewellery was excessively piled on with a full face of make-up and bouffant hair, but in this new era of fashion, statement earrings are accent to oversized shirts and distressed denim, or your favorite dress matching with “no makeup” make-up look.

Earrings can create a sense of personality and magic for someone who dresses simply. It can create an huge difference on your selfie game or during your life streaming session with your fans (watchmy live-streaming here), even the rest of you outfits are just borrowed from your Mom’s closet.

Today’s designs are more bolder, bigger, brighter, flashier and more dramatic than ever and to some extend way below the shoulder. IT could also be mismatched with colors, sizes, stones, and fringed/tassel accents!

Wearing a statement earrings is not like coloring your hair were you need commitments to it. It is just a bit of fun and I think most of you will love transformative effect.

Fashion is all about having fun and it doesn’t mean breaking your bank for just a pair of statement earrings.

Am here for another DIY session and it’s time for you to sit-down and take some notes, or nope just screenshot this post.

All you need are some balls of colored thread for the tassel. I’ve used my old stocks of Monaco thread (I’m using these for my crocheting projects). You can buy these at any craft stores, any you can use any brand. If these are not available, you may opt to use DMC thread.

Next I have these old pairs of earrings that I haven’t used for a while, and I decided to glam it up for a more fantastic look!

Choose any color of thread that you desired, then roll it like this above to create a tassel. You can decide the length, can be short or longer. You may check my video clip here on how to make a tassel.

So here I’ve create 6 tassels in 3 colors, all in eye-candy colors! Next is connect all these tassels together unto the earrings, to make something like this…

And Viola!

No need to spend hundreds of bucks just for a statement earrings. Unleash your creativity and there is no limits.

You can wear it at any occasions, when you hit the beach, for your afternoon tea with the ladies, etc.
I’ve flaunt it during the recent shopping party at UNAROSA. Then I paired it with my Dolce & Gabbana-inspired dress, and my “no makeup” make-up look.
